There are 66 books in the Bible-39 in the Old 27 in the New. The New is in the Old contained and the old is by the New explained. There is a standard of Godliness for which we all must meet the standards. The standards are not to be lowered. Make no mistake in that-“The law of the land; is not equivalent, with the law of God.”

The bible was written for all classes of Jews, Gentiles, and the Church

We can dislocate scripture by attempting to apply scripture to one class of people when it’s not applicable. Ex: Circumcision was not given to the Gentiles it was given to the Jews.

All scripture is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness.

1 Corinthians 10:11-What happened to Israel was written for our example and our admonition-(they were scattered and corrected.)

His prophetic work touches on the “God Head” Jesus is the expressed image of who God is-the bible says in “Him”-Jesus Colsis2:9 dwells the fullness of the God Head bodily. Glorify me with the glory that I had with the before the foundation of the world, Jesus’ said.

Is the God Head in Jesus? Yes

The Millennium Kingdom is equivalent to 1,000 years of Jesus reigning on earth.

He was the Prophet foretold by Moses Duet.18:15, Peter declares Christ is that Prohet-Acts: 3:19- He foretold his death and resurrection. Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again; as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days so shall the son of God.

He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, now to appear in the presence of God to make intercession for us, and he that look for him shall he appear unto the second time unto salvation.

His Parabolic teaching was full of prophetic statements, and-His “Olivet Discourse”- Matthew 24 is a key passage of scripture. We must put those statements in perspective

We must distinguish His coming for the Saints-the Church and His coming with the Saints-the Revelation.

There are Four Forms of the Gospel

Kingdom-

Grace

Glorious Gospel-Phase of the Gospel of the Kingdom

Everlasting Gospel

Paul references-Another Gospel in revelation

We must distinguish between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven.

He does not hold these offices conjointly-at the same time; but successively-which denotes one after the other. His prophetic work extends from creation-of time to his Ascension back unto the heavens.

His Priestly work extends from the Ascension to the Rapture of the church.

His Kingly work extends from His revelation at the close of the tribulation period, until He surrenders the Kingdom to the Father- God. 1 Corinthians 15:28

The Second Advent (2) -a corporal bodily appearance of Christ.

It is very important in any saved person’s life that he/she diligently reads and studies (strong emphasis on studying) the word of the Lord. It is important that you rightly divide the Word –II Timothy 2:15-studying the word is more than reading your bible every day. While that is a good practice -there is a difference between reading and studying.

Show thyself approved unto God; not unto men.- As a Shepard it is important that I mature you in the word so that you don’t make God, Pastor, or Your church ashamed.

Errors- misrepresenting, misquoting, or misinterpreting the word –like forcing something in one dispensation that it does not belong.

You can have the Word of truth but you still must rightly divide the word of truth.

These are a few areas that will aid in properly studying the Bible for beginners.

Studying of the Dispensations and Time-lines, Covenants (8), Advents (2) Class of People (3) -Jews, Gentile, and Church of God-This helps to break down the Bible into applicable periods of time. There are seven dispensations (listed below) which are periods in time in which man is tested in respect to obedience as to some specific revelation to the will of God.

Innocence

Conscience

Human government

Promise

Law

Grace and Truth

Kingdom

The Bible is not an exposition on Theology or on any other topic. It is a revelation of god in the creation of earth, man, salvation, God’s plan and purpose in the ages- infallible 2 Timothy 3:16 -17. All scripture were given by the inspiration of God and it is profitable for doctrine, reproof, rebuking, correcting, instruction, and righteousness that the man of God may be perfect. That is a safeguard to keep a person from going off into a Spirit of Error.

2 Peter 1:19-21- We have also a more sure word of prophecy where unto ye do well if ye take heed. No prophecy of the scripture is given by private interpretation.

The New Testament is enfolded in the Old Testament- Ex: Isaiah53; The Old Testament is Unfolded in the New Testament. You cannot understand Leviticus without understating Hebrews and Leviticus or Daniel without Revelation.

The language of the Bible is of three kinds- Figurative, Symbolic and Literal.

Three things to avoid in the handling scripture

Misinterpretation

Misapplications

Dislocation of Scripture

We must also not overlook the -“Parabolic Method” -of imparting the truth as Jesus taught in parables.

http://www.biblewaychurchcomplex.org/for-every-valley-there-is-a-victorySun, 22 Feb 2015 12:44:25 CDThttp://www.biblewaychurchcomplex.org/for-every-valley-there-is-a-victoryFor Every Valley; There Is a Victory

Victory Is In the Bag-Foundation Subject

2 Kings 3:16

Prepare for victory in that you can endure the valley. "Ditch Diggers Wanted"- that is not a job that most people aspire to-this is what we consider a blue collar job. A blue collar worker is a person who performs manual labor. They are skilled or unskilled working in manufacturing companies-mechanical, maintenance, etc...Labor that requires some physical effort. Digging ditches requires you to get your hands dirty-to bend your back. The word says, “Just as it is in the natural, it is in the Spiritual. Faith requires you to sometimes get your hands dirty. Hebrews 4:1-2. Mix the Word with the Faith to increase your efficiency and power; it’s not the word that needs checked-check your filter. This is the Necessary Additives” The Word & Faith” for greater efficiency.

Stop seeking Joseph before Naphtali- the Struggle--wanting the crown without the cross, wanting accolades without restlessness. Genesis 30:20-28. God was upset with David because he counted people instead of using the necessary additives-“The Word & Faith” 2 Kings 3:6-The brothers made a mistake in making an agreement with the King of Edom-Be mindful of your allegiance-.Counsel with the Lord: Proverbs 3:6

Jehoshaphat waited until they got in trouble before they sought counsel. When you get in real trouble you need to know who to call-not waiting until the trouble comes. Seek the Lord first in all things. Are you thankful for your valleys, trials, and mountains-Give God the Glory as through it all you have learned to trust and depend on "Him!"

Everlasting, Lord, Sovereign, Infinite, Self-Existing, Majestic Ruler, Holy One, Strong One, Set A-Part from Sin, Mighty. When you cannot wrap your arms around Gods will, go back to what you know to be true about God. Such as: He is a man that cannot lie, powerful merciful!

How Can You Do This?Habakkuk question arises out of conflict. However, understand that in Habakkuk’s questing processes-There is no conflict or contradiction in God’s Will. When God Atoned for man’s sin with- HIS OWN BLOOD as his thoughts and ways are so superior. There are no contradictions with the Almighty, but it is true that he does things that see to us inconsistent. If God cannot tolerate wrongdoing, how then could he use the Babylonians to judge Judah?

How Will this Last?Shall they therefore, empty their nets? We all want to know when our troubles will finally end. We must understand that we will always face trouble- There are more good days than bad days. Trouble does not last always. From the first DAY YOU PRAYED, God heard you and sent you answer, but sometimes the principalities hold up your answer. ( This occurs in the Spirit-

If you remove his Sovereignty you will question his wisdom

If you remove his loyal love you will question his faithfulness

If you remove his Majesty you will question his power

If you remove his protection you will forever question his goodness

If you remove his Holiness then we question his fairness

Habakkuk does not like the answer he received. Because he did not like the answer, he thought God was ignoring Judah’s sin. (The 7th Kingdom) thought that God would never use the Babylonians to judge Judah. He concluded that the sins of Babylon were greater.

What do you do when you have prayed and don’t like the answer you’ve received?

Some have problems discerning an answer. Why?

What is the next step when no answer is perceived? The next steps we tend to graduate towards are asking another person to pray for us.

Habakkuk has questions as to how God is dealing with iniquity. We have to trust God’s will when the answer differs from what we expect.

What do you do when?

You prayed for a job and the employer selected another candidate?

You have sunk your life savings and

You never intended to get a divorce, but here you are?

What do you do when you signed up for the worship team and you don’t hear anything back?

What does the scripture reveal to us regarding the dispensation of Grace?

Gifts come by the Spirit, many times individuals get Spiritual Gifts confused with Natural Gifts? Oratorical vs Teaching

The only person that qualifies to receive a or many Spiritual Gifts is one born of the Spirit. God does not pour out gifts to people who do not possess his Spirit.

The Gentiles were hearing those who called Jesus accursed, Paul tells him no man will ever call Him accursed, as He is the Lord by the Holy Ghost, as Jesus brought us all into the fold by the shedding of His blood.

1 Corinthians 12:4-8

Divers types of Spirit- one Spirit, but different operations, differences in administration, but the same Lord, there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God. This is a clear representation of the “God Head”

However, the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyman to profit, not just that man, but to profit the Body. There is only one Body, gifts are not exclusive to one church, the gifts of the Spirit are to edify the Body of Christ. Therefore, you must be willing to release your gifts to benefit the Body.

For to one is given wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of Spirits, diverse tongues, interpretations of tongues, all divided and worked as the Spirit will- The Function of the Holy Spirit from this passage is to impart Spiritual Gifts as He will.

The church needs the gifts of the Spirit exquisitely adorned by the fruit of the Spirit to operate effectively-references

Paul is writing to Timothy, neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery

You must discover your gift; Timothy’s gift was given by God and revealed through prophecy. The Lord knowing Timothy’s assignment placed within him the ability to get the job done. He sought God for direction

We must -Discover, Dedicate, Develop our Spiritual Gifts.

A gift without development will not be effective. It is your responsibility, once your gift is discovered to cultivate your gifts- you must discover what he has placed in you. Once you discover the gift you must dedicate it completely to God. Your gift must be cultivated and matured both Spiritually and Naturally.

The dispensational work of the Holy Spirit requires for us to know various dispensations.

Every student of the word of God notices various divisions- periods of time marked off in scripture. The concept of a dispensation deals with the arrangement of various divisions of biblical history.

How does the Holy Spirit Function and work in various dispensations time?

Dispensation- is a period of time in which man is tested regarding obedience to some specific revelation of the will of God.

Dispensations-Manfailed God and was judged in each dispensation-In every dispensation man could be saved by “Faith” Dispensationalism- is a method of interpreting the history that divides God’s work and purposes toward mankind into different periods of time.

In Christianity, the meaning is a distinctive arrangement or period in history or framework in which God relates to mankind. In each dispensation it suggests that God is relating to man. In each dispensation God wants to relate to man. Dispensations then become a series of chronological successive periods-periods in specific order. The numbers of dispensations held are typically three, four, seven, or eight.

The three and four dispensation schemers are often referred to as minimalist, as they recognize the commonly held major beaks within Biblical history. The seven and eight dispensation schemers commonly associate the announcement or the inauguration of certain biblical covenants- covenants are associated with dispensations. There are eight covenants-which mark a different time period or dispensation of time.

The variance in the number of dispensations relate to the extent of detail being giving by a particular author or speaker.

There is a distinct difference in the Holy Spirit that worked in the Old Testament vs. the New Testament-It came to strengthen, service, or work. The indwelling/filling of the Holy Ghost was not known in the Old Testament. This does not mean that the activities of the Old Testament were small and little known. It does not make their work less important in the Old Testament as we know men who have done mighty and great things, for they knew it was not by their own power.

Ex. 31:1-5, 35:30-35-

The Holy Spirit imparts brings wisdom-to work in gold, silver, and brass-this is a high level overview which describes the various manners in which we are all skilled-

gifts giving unto us imparted unto us through the Spirit-

What are your natural talents and gifts?-Judges 3:10 The Spirit came upon Othniel, and he judged Israel. We must always equate that all things of grandeur unto those for which we perceive as insignificant are all given one to another through the Spirit.

Examples of How the Spirit brought wisdom and talent

Judges-11:29, 13:25 Gideon, Sampson

In creation: the Holy Spirit at work in the beginning-its work was to garnish the heavens-made beautiful with stars and suns (Gen-1:2) the Spirit moved upon the face of the deep. The Law of First Mention -a principal in biblical hermeneutics-

Hermeneutics is the study of the interpretation of the principles of interpreting the books of the bible –Learn Greek and Hebrew as meaning variations have changed for full understanding as we know language translation and meanings have evolved and do not necessarily hold the same meaning.

We must know the framework to apply the scripture this occurs in hermeneutics. The Law of first mention- sets the stage for how a principle should be understood in the rest of the word of God-Rachaph-in Hebrew to flutter, hover relax, brood.

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep- And the Spirit of God (moved-Rachaph) upon the face of the waters.

God wants us to get that the Holy Spirit is on the move.-restoring to the earth peace and tranquility out of chaos.

From the Fall of mankind to the Flood (Adam & Noah) Dispensation of Conscience –Gen 6:3 for the Holy Spirit - Strives with man through his conscience to live a better life.

The Holy Spirit was very active before the day of Pentecost. The Lord will bear with man for 120 years longer-until Noah began to build the arch-Noah preached for 120 years telling the people to repent. If there be no repentance-Noah shared- God would send the flood. Only 8 souls were saved.

From the Flood to the Birth of Jesus Christ –Dispensations of Promise, Mosaic, and Law

The Holy Spirit came upon men and women after the flood up until the birth of Jesus Christ and filled individuals for some special service without regard to character.

Example: Scripture references of individuals with what we would call major character flaws, yet Jesus Christ filled these individuals with the Holy Spirit to work for some special service without regard to their character.

Balaam-Num 24-2-9

Samson Judges 13-24-25

King Saul 1 Samuel 10-6-13

Relating to Jesus-Conceived by the Holy Ghost Luke 1:30-31, 34-35,

Led by the Spirit into the wilderness-Matt 4:1 Luke 41-2

Performed mighty works Acts 10-38

Anointed to preach Luke 4:18

Die on the Cross Heb 9-14

Raised from the dead 1 Peter 3-18-Quickened by the Spirit- He gave resurrection by the Holy Spirit Acts 1:1-2

From Pentecost to the second coming of Christ-Dispensation of Grace-we live in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. Formation of the body of Christ by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body. On the day of Pentecost it took residence. Prior to the day it was not know n that the Holy Ghost dwelled-take up residence in man. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the Presiding Officer of the Church-divides the gifts as he will (Acts 15-13-29 13 2-4, 5:3, 20:28)

God is not fickle in his love and grace. God is forever giving. Who are you praising? Do you know who died for you?

God commands us to be strengthen in the word. He needs to know that we are with him. God wants us to be convinced in our own mind that he loves us. This is because when the sheep are scattered, “He” knows that you are someone who can hold and bring them together.

Simeon (listen)/Peter (stone)

Can you endure? There is a contrast between Peter & Paul. Paul thought that he was doing something for God, Peter was on the right street, but he was going in the wrong direction. God took the opposite of what Paul thought should happen by blinding Peter in the same. God was letting him know that he did not have a personal relationship with God. Paul thought he was going to Damascus to do something for God. Paul was blind for three days. God commanded Ananias to go and lay hands on him. Get rid of the doubt that you have and belive God. Sometimes God sends you to the worst of the worst, but God does not want you to have a spirit of fear. He wants to know, do you love “Him” like you say?

When God unction’s you to witness to someone honor the direction of the “Spirit.”

Gods grace is sufficient for you! Be careful as not to get comfortable in a bad situation that seems right, as this is the trick of the devil.

Then you begin to tell him secrets and he begins to tell you what you do. God has a way to get you to see yourself. There are some things that you know you are not supposed to do, allow God to keep your footsteps as he is A God of A second Chance!

Hold on and Hold Out!

Prove It, in obedience that you Love "God" like you say you do!

Isaiah 6:1

The Lord is upon me as he has ordained those according to “His Word”

No ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which temple of God are you?

Acts 12:7-8

The Holy Spirit gives life. You must be born again. Gird thyself, cast thy garment about and follow the works of the Holy Ghost. We want God to deliver us.

Acts 18:9-10

Be not afraid and hold thy peace, for God shall protect you. Take the Lord with you wherever you go, as we need the protection of God all of the time. We are not in this by ourselves. The Holy Ghost spoke to Paul, in visions, dreams, and prophecy,

Try the spirit by the Spirit. You must seek the Lord in full repentance. If you are not saved, get saved! Live by the “Life Class of the Bible.”

The Spirit helps our infirmities, the Holy Spirit is an agent working on behalf of God the guide you. God is both the savior and judge. When you are married to Christ you cannot fulfill the lust of the flesh, as God desires for all man to live in peace. You must be conscience as to what you utter before God, do not follow the spirit of error, as the Holy Ghost makes intercession for us all. God’s power never runs out. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of Truth. Let no corrupt communication come from your mouth. Be encouraged in tribulation as Gods is “Grace and Mercy” is made perfect. He is faithful and just to forgive you of all your sins. Confess and forsake your sins as to receive the mercy of God. The spirit of Truth guides you into all Truth. In all thy ways acknowledge Jesus and he will direct your path. You must allow yourself to be led by the Spirit of God. Seek first the kingdom of God. He writes His laws upon your heart. Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard what God has prepared for them who love him.

Oh retched man that I am who shall deliver me from the bondage of this death. In other words there is something in the body that is causing death. God placed conscience and will in every man. What is your will? Is it to do right or wrong?

Some people suggest that I have will power, who do I need deliverance from? I need deliverance from myself. Then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but the flesh wants to serve the law of sin. Because we were born in sin and shaped in iniquity. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God!

Everyone has something that they need deliverance from (2 Corinthians 7:1) Filthiness of the flesh and spirit. Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness in the flesh and spirit.

Noun That Acts Like A Verb

1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. Did you know sin could keep you from being in good health?

Romans 10:9-Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteous; and with the mouth

2 Corinthians 7:8-10 for though I made you sorry with a letter, I don’t repent, though I did repent; for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

The Battle between the two “I’s” (Romans 7:14-25) the Holy Spirit never guides you wrong.

He also said, For, I know that in me, dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18)

4.) Omnipresent Psalm 139:7- Presence everywhere at all times. You cannot separate the Spirit of God from God. God can send his Spirit to dwell within us, but it does not diminish his capacity.

5.) Omniscient-1 Corinthians 2:9-11-Eyes have not seen ears have not heard. In reference to two of the gates of the body ( eye and ear gate)

Apart from the Holy Spirit we cannot even begin to understand what God has prepared for us/ for those that love him. The Holy Ghost will speak what "He" has heard from the Father. For the Spirit searches all things. Ye the deep things of God, for what man knows the thing of a man, except the Spirit of man which is in him. Your human spirit knows you. We were made in the image of God.

1 Corinthians 2:11

Comparatively, the Spirit of God knows you and your human spirit. We have received the Spirit of God that we might know the things given to us of God. Apart from the Spirit, you are subject to neglect and know what God has given to you freely in Grace, Mercy, and Much more.

The Holy Spirit is a replenishing, unending, and unyielding reservoir. Accordingly, for them that love the Lord, all things work together for those that Love the Lord.

The Spirit –Acts like a verb

Acts

Moves

Agitates

Births

Energizes

Quickens

Reveals

Regenerating

Judges and Purges

(Isa 4:4) (59:19)

The Holy Spirit lifts up a standard against the devil.

The Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the deep.

NOTE:You cannot separate God from the Holy Spirit no more that you can separate you from your human spirit.

The Holy Spirit shall come upon you and birth things in your human spirit. So when you say, “I thought of that,” the ‘That” of your thoughts, represents the birth of Holy Spirit in you. The flesh is weak, but the Spirit is willing.

Sometime we need to take account of ourselves in the mirror and realize that we need help.

Cast down imaginations of all things that exalt itself above God.

Things that are pure and lovely think on these things. Call and use the “Word” of God to win the battle in the mind. (Psychological Warfare) the enemy –in words, deeds, actions, or circumstances-will try to get you to believe that God is not for you.

There are things out in the world that will attempt to discredit your Faith and your walk as a Christian. Walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. There is no condemnation for those that walk after the Spirit. Do not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Every time sin tries to remind you of your past, remind yourself of your future in Christ!

Take your walk with Jesus Christ personal!

Be persuaded in your heart and mind in that nothing separates you from Jesus Christ!

The spirit receives impressions from the outward material of the soul and body.

Faith, Hope, Reverence, Prayer, Worship

Remain anchored in the Lord as he opens doors that no man can close.

The New Testament references the conscience being seared with a hot iron. Sin impacts every dimension of man.

Sin distorts the conscience of man; and even with that, the conscience that God put in every man an idea to worship or a measure of faith, but what sin does it distorts that and some begin to worship the creature more than the creator.

It is an expectation that the whole man be preserved blameless until the coming of Jesus Christ. Apart from the Holy Ghost we cannot make it. 2 Corinthians 7:1 “ therefore having these promises, dearly beloved let us cleanse ourselves from all the filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Did you know that filthiness can dwell in the flesh and in the spirit?

Note: The filthiness of your flesh can be seen, but the filthiness of your spirit can be hidden.

(Matthew 15:19, Matthew 12:34)

If the seal is broken, then the contents cannot be preserved. (We are sealed unto the day of redemption for our bodies as our souls have already been redeemed.

Sanctification is not just for one dimension of man, it’s for the whole being of man.

Genesis 6:5 -Psalms 51:10- Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me (the human spirit.)

Man has spirit different from his soul. It is that dimension of man that is meant to touch and commune with God. We comprehend god in the Inner Man.

Sanctification requires us to bring our soul into submission of the spirit which is beholding and reflecting God.

Is there a difference between a person who is born of the threefold nature and one that is not born of the threefold nature?

Trichotomy- teaching that humans consist of three parts. (Body, Soul, and Spirit)

Dichotomy-teaching that humans consist of two parts (Body and Soul)

Most biblical scholars in the early church saw man as a threefold (Trichotomous) being

We believe in monotheism (One God) that manifests himself in many forms. Father in creation, Son in redemption, Holy Ghost in redemption

Thessalonians 5:23

Paul writes” And the very God of peace sanctifies you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

We teach that the soul has been redeemed! I have been sanctified, but we also teach that the body waits for the day of redemption. (The rapture)

Therefore we must pray and crucify the deeds of the flesh daily.

Hebrews 4:12

“The word of god is quick (means the Word of God is Living) alive, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow (body) and is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart.”

The word has the ability and is capable to touch every dimension of your person

Man in his physical and spiritual makeup, was made for two worlds the Spiritual world and Physical world.

How do we really touch the Spirit realm?

The tabernacle and its Courtyard (Body) is a type of the threefold nature of man. Outer court Inner Court (Soul), and the Most Holy Place (Spirit)

Eph. 3:16-19 the portion of our being which is meant to and commune with God

There is a sound of the abundance of rain. Many commentators say that when Elijah made that statement there were no clouds in the sky to suggest that rain was coming. However, Elijah held on to the promises of God.

When a man reaches a place of the "DIN" this means that he dissolves the clatter and chatter of the world is shut out. He can hear the words of Gods blessings before they ever appear in sight.

What do you do when you have heard the sound of abundance in your Spirit and it does not align with the natural? You have to trust God when you can not trace Him! The just shall live by Faith, without Faith it is impossible to please God, He is a re-warder to those who diligently seek him. Know that the natural man receives not the Spirit of God.

Never doubt what you heard in your Spirit. Know that you heard the sound of the abundance of rain.

Be persistent, keep on praying for the Lord is neigh, his word if true, just, and He will answer you!

Can a person’s mind (carnal mind) be influenced apart from the Holy Ghost?

Let your conversation be Holy means (The Word Is Your Life Style )

The "SPIRITUAL MAN"

Regeneration is a creation, not merely transformation-but to bring in a new thing, not the change of an old.

We must teach the new believers that the tendencies of the Flesh will rise back up; however, you must teach them how to crucify the flesh daily. We must not yield to temptation. Hold on and know that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the World. It’s more than the power to say no. It’s the Holy Ghost Power that dwells on the inside.

Awareness Scripture References to subdue the old nature.

The Flesh Nature

The Old or Adam Nature/ the Natural Man

Shaped in iniquity (Ps. 51:5)

Deceitful above all (Jer. 17:9)

None Righteous (Rom. 3: 10-12)

Produces after its kind (Gen. (6:4)

Imagination of the thoughts evil (Gen. 6:5) (Mark 7:21-23)

Receive not the things of the Spirit (1 Cor. 2:14) Eph. 4:18

Carnal mind is enmity (Rom. 8:7-8)

Conversations in times past (Eph. 2:3)

The scriptures speak of the first as the natural man and the second as the Spiritual Man. (Paul talks about this)

Apart from the new nature there is nothing righteous in you.

All sin can be traced back to the old nature.

The Flesh Nature-Psalms 51:5 –

Your carnal mind cannot be influenced to save you; however, you life's experiences or conversations (see above) influences or guides you into the knowledge of God- ( Holy Ghost)

God commanded the writing of 66 books, written on 3 different continents of Asia, Africa, & Europe. 3 Languages: Greek, Armenian, & Hebrew. Written by over 40 different Kings, Priests, Physicians, attorny's, Fishermen, Army Generals, and more diverse backgrounds over 1600 years.

"In this instance, the Bible illustrates one of the greatest miracles which is "Unity" as inspired by the word of God. God pours out his Spirit amongst diverse tongues to create the Holy Bible. This book instructs us as to the will, word, promises, prophecies, chastisement, and blessings according to our walk with the Lord. The book of Job is the oldest book in the bible
